A hood ( 14 ) is provided in a male housing ( 11 ). The hood ( 14 ) has an inwardly projected locking claw ( 16 ) for keeping the female housing ( 21 ) fit in the male housing ( 11 ) when a to-be-locked portion ( 47 ) of a female housing ( 21 ) is locked to the locking claw ( 16 ). A locking means penetration space ( 17 ) is provided rearward from the locking claw ( 16 ) for receiving the to-be-locked portion ( 47 ) of the female housing ( 21 ). The locking means penetration space ( 17 ) opens to the outside along a direction intersecting a fit-in/separation direction of the female housing ( 21 ). A rear of the locking means penetration space ( 17 ) inside the hood ( 14 ) has an inwardly projecting reinforcing rib ( 18 ) opposite the locking claw ( 16 ) and extended in the fit-in/separation direction of the female housing ( 21 ).
